Do You Pa.s.s the Psychological Test?

“…Please think of the person that you like…”

Kanata’s mellow and quiet voice reverberated within the home economics room .

“T-the person I like… Got it…”

Sana glanced in my direction once, then closed her eyes .

“The person I like…!”

Hiiragi-chan turned her head in my direction, and when our eyes met, her cheeks turned red .

She’s such an easy to understand person .

I also closed my eyes, and began to think . Think of Hiiragi-chan of course .

“…You, have the ability to stop time—”

Kanata spoke to the three of us .

“W-what’s with that . What’s with the supernatural ability!?”

“It’s a psychological test . There shouldn’t be an option like that . ”

After eating lunch, there was still time, so we started doing some psychological tests from a book she had borrowed from the library .

“… If you could stop time for the person that you like, which would be the first part of them that you would touch?”

Stopping time… being able to freely touch Hiiragi-chan…

No . I can’t . I can only think of erotic things . Saying outright that I want to fondle her b.r.e.a.s.t.s would be too lewd .

When I opened my eyes, Sana was raising her hand .

“…Alright, Sachan . Where would you touch?”

“L-lips! It’s just a random thing . Just a feeling, there isn’t any deep meaning behind it . ”

“…For the Sachan that chose lips…”

Sana gulped .

“I-is it actually reciprocated love?”

“…It will end as just one-sided thoughts . ”

As I was about to ask Kanata why those are the results,

“…………………Ha—haha…”

A dry laugh came from the dazed Sana .

Ah! I can almost see a soul-like thing leaving from her mouth!?

“Hey, Sana! Come back . ”

Just as I grab Sana’s shoulders and start shaking her, she started hitting the desk like a child .

“Sh-sh-shut up! Whose fault do you think this is… Ah, wait, no . Nii-san, you idiot!”

It seems that her soul has returned into her body, so I was able to pat my chest in relief .

“Ah, Kanchan, actually, that wasn’t right… Instead…”

“… Sachan, no cheating . ”

“Uuuu… Why are you so strict at times like these…”

This time, it was Hiiragi-chan’s turn to raise her hand .

“… Alright, Sensei . ”

“For me… ummm…”

“What is it, Sensei? This should just be on instinct . So you should just go out with it and say the first place that comes to mind . ”

Hiiragi-chan peeked at my face, then made up her mind and her expression turned into a confident one .

“I would touch a man’s precious spot . ”

““……””

The two of them backed away slightly .

Well, but having it be a s.e.xual part is the same as me . I guess maybe couples think alike? That in itself makes me a little happy .

“If you think of that as the first thing, I guess it would be something like hoping to be blessed with children?”

“…For that person, your relations.h.i.+p will end as just a physical one . ”

““!?””

Hiiragi-chan and I took an unexpected hit from that one .

Kanata explained it in a cold voice, but that explanation went in my right ear and came out my left .

B-b-b-but we haven’t even proceeded past kissing? If it’s only a physical relations.h.i.+p, then I believe that various things would have been done by now . What’s up with that part?

“Puu Puu Puu . Sensei, don’t worry . That means, your just aiming at playing around for their body, right?”

“!?”

Hiiragi-chan received an even bigger shock .

“There’s no way that’s true!”

I subconsciously denied it .

“Don’t suddenly shout like that . It doesn’t have anything to do with you anyways, Nii-san . ”

Hiiragi-chan was looking at me with teary eyes, so I forcefully shook my head . If that was really the case, then the deed would have already been done . There would be no need to hold back .

“Earlier, that was actually a lie…”

“No, you can’t . No changes are accepted!”

Sana was lively . She was denied her own change when she wanted it after all .

“…Last one is Seiji-kun . What did you think of first?”

Where? Well I would like to fondle Hiiragi-chan’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s… No, I want to support them from underneath… No, I want to poke them with my finger, no…

—Go somewhere else, you p.u.b.erty driven libido!

It’s completely filled with b.r.e.a.s.t.s!! I can’t change my thoughts at all . No, that’s wrong . It’s not her b.r.e.a.s.t.s that I want to touch, it’s what’s behind . Her spirit—the so-called heart . [1]

I want to poke it, support it, fondle it…? Something like that?

“The heart .  Or, the connection to her spirit? That’s how I would wish to touch it . ”

As I said that while brus.h.i.+ng away my bangs, Sana made a face of disbelief .

“What are you saying, Nii-san? Are you okay? It’s like I just heard a poem from a middle school or younger person . I bet the results would just say something like a relations.h.i.+p ending as friends . ”

Kanata browsed through the pages of the book, and then nodded .

“…There isn’t anything like heart, the closest thing would have to be the heart… If it’s that, then it’s likely that the person you like holds a pa.s.sionate love for you . ”

“Alright!!”

I stood up and made an all-out guts pose .

“You see?”

I don’t know what there is to see, but the me who was fully wanting to fondle some b.r.e.a.s.t.s, was now making a smug face while looking down upon Sana .

“Heeeh… I see… p-pa.s.sionate love…”

Hmm? Why are you blus.h.i.+ng?

“…That means even if you have obstacles, you can overcome it, right…?”

Glance . Fidget . Glance . Fidget .

“That’s probably what it means . ”

Hiiragi-chan suddenly stood up, and walked out of the home economics room .

I wonder what happened? Well, it’s okay .

“Without worrying about status and position, just continuing on in a straight line… right…?”

“That’s what it would mean . ”

My relations.h.i.+p with Hiiragi-chan is exactly that . Man, I hit the jackpot!

“Nii-san, you pervert . ”

Dogon, I was. .h.i.t in the shoulder with a pretty large amount of force .

“…Sachan . Calm down . ”

Sana, who was sticking closer to Kanata than me, her brother, calmed her breathing through her nose .

“I wonder where Sensei went? I’ll go check for a bit . ”

While leaving those few words behind I exited the home economics room, and instantly found her . She was leaning on a pillar just outside the room, covering her face with both her hands . I thought that she was crying, but it seems that’s not it . She might have been embarra.s.sed since her ears were completely red .

“You love me, a lot… That means you love me so much that you can’t hold back… Wow… A pa.s.sionate love…”

I murmured into the red ears of Hiiragi-chan, who was blus.h.i.+ng furiously .

“Still, Sensei, for you to think of something so erotic…”

“!?”

Hiiragi-chan raised her face all of a sudden .

“T-that’s not it, Sei… Sanadkun…”

She said herself to “Wait until after marriage” and that last line of defense seemed quite strong . Yet, in contrast to that, her interest was quite high .

“Then, what were you thinking of?”

“N-nothing… I wouldn’t think of something so weird…”

“Is it something you can’t say? Sensei, are you actually, quite the lecher?”

“Y-you’re wrong… Sanadkun… I’m not a lecher, I’m not but…”

Half crying, Hiiragi-chan began to quiver .

Ah, I teased her too much .

As I was just about to start reflecting, she spoke while blowing her nose .

“E-even I… sometimes think of perverted things…”

Gufuu…!? S-so cute… If you say such a thing with teary eyes, I’ll end up hugging you and pus.h.i.+ng you down . Whether or not I have the courage to do that is another story though .

“Ah! Just as I was thinking that you weren’t coming back! Nii-san, you’re making Sensei cry!”

“I’m not making her cry!”

Are you an elementary schooler?

“Sensei, what did Nii-san do to you? Are you okay?”

That makes it seem like she was attacked by some pervert or something, so can you please not ask in that way .

Saying that she was okay, Hiiragi-chan stood up .

I now understood that because of that final line of defense, both Hiiragi-chan and I had desires that couldn’t be fulfilled .
